My grape wine has been working hardcore for the 2 weeks. Now it is barely working, I had a horrible problem with the smell and got that taken care of. ANY IDEARS?
 
There is a good chance your wine has finished fermenting. Almost all my wines finish within 2 weeks, depending on temperature. Is it still in the primary or have you already racked it? What was your beginning sg and what is your sg now? If your sg has the same reading for 3 days then it's done fermenting.
 
It's probably finished,.. Do you have a hydrometer?

If so check the finished gravity now and compare it to the starting gravity just before you added the yeast.

You are looking for a finished gravity of 1000 or less. Wait a few days and see if the sediment starts dropping out and the wine starts to clear.

Rack it, then check gravity again.

please post your findings here so we can help further.

It sounds like it is finished fermenting. I would do as Allie says and check your SG readings to confirm that it is completed.
